Power Linking
The OVATION™ C-640FC supports power linking. You can power link up to 9 units on
120 V; up to 16 units on 208 V; or up to 18 units on 230 V.
This product comes with a Neutrik® powerCON® input power
cord. This product does not
come with a power linking cable; however, a power linking cable is available as an option.
DMX Linking
You can link the OVATION™ C-640FC to a DMX controller using a standard DMX serial
connection. If using other DMX-compatible products with the OVATION™ C-640FC
, you
can control each individually with a single DMX controller.
DMX Modes
The OVATION™ C-640FC uses the standard DMX data connection for its TOUR, TR16,
ARC.1, AR1.D, ARC.2, ARC.3, AR3.D, AR3.S, HSV, PIX1, PIX3, and PX16
DMX
modes.
• Refer to the Introduction chapter for a brief description of these modes.
• Refer to the Operation chapter to learn how to configure the OVATION™ C-640FC to
work in these modes.
• The DMX Values section provides you with detailed information regarding the DMX
modes.
Master/Slave
Connectivity
The Master/Slave mode allows a single OVATION™ C-640FC (the “master”) to control
the actions of one or more OVATION™ C-640FC units (the “slaves”) without
the need of
a DMX controller to control the slaves. Once set and connected, the slaves
will operate
in unison with the master.
For instructions on connecting and configuring this product,
see Master/Slave Mode.
DO NOT connect a DMX controller to products operating in Slave mode. The DMX
controller signals may interfere with the signals from the master product.
The Operation section of this manual provides detailed instructions on how to
configure the master and slave products.
